Selling Fear

With 2012 looming, and a string of real-life catastrophes such as the recent earthquake in Haiti wreaking havoc globally, a California company is offering "doomsday bunkers" for sale to anyone with the right combination of fear and money.  The $50,000 shelters are designed to withstand extremely severe conditions such as multiple magnitude 10 earthquakes, sustained 400 miles per hour winds, and 1200 degrees fahrenheit temperatures.
